This article on the relationship between the Covid-19 pandemic process and suicide; It was produced based on the idea that the biopsychosocial processes caused by the epidemic increase the risk of suicidal behavior. In the article, 4 suicide attempt cases, which were among the cases who applied to Elazig Fırat University Hospital as a result of suicidal behavior between August 1 and October 31, 2021, and in which the problems causing suicidal behavior were associated with the covid-19 pandemic; It is aimed to analyze the relationship between the epidemic process and suicide. Purposive sampling technique was used in this qualitative study. Relevant cases and their relatives were interviewed using semi-structured interview forms. In the 4 cases examined, the work and financial losses experienced due to the covid-19 pandemic, the measures that prevent the continuation of formal education, the measures that are frequently recommended by the mass media and authorities to prevent the disease, and finally the social support resources that decrease as a result of the quarantine and isolation processes have been determined to be related to suicidal behavior. This research reveals the necessity of taking preventive measures, especially in terms of vulnerable population groups, by predicting that the incidence of suicide will increase periodically during epidemic processes. Since studies dealing with the relationship between suicide and covid-19 pandemic in Turkish literature are often designed as a compilation; This study is important in that it draws attention to the multidimensional problems caused by the pandemic by including case studies and deals with the issue from a social work perspective.
